The Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries Organization : A Strategic Analysis as a Security Enhancement Intergovernmental Organizationhttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/4409
Título: The Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries Organization : A Strategic Analysis as a Security Enhancement Intergovernmental Organization
Autor: Mimoso, José Carlos Pinto
Resumo: The current wide-ranging and complex relations in the international environment demand a comprehensive approach to challenges in world security. Regional organizations play a decisive role in the peaceful settlement of disputes and conflict prevention. This is especially important in Africa given the many enduring problems that affect this continent.
Considering that security is a basic condition for development and prosperity, this study aims to assess the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) organization’s ability to promote stability in its African member states and the CPLP’s aptitude to help resolve a crisis situation and return to stability.
The research concluded that the CPLP is an intergovernmental organization capable of enhancing the security of its African country members. Even without an organizational defined policy towards defense and security, CPLP developed a Defense Cooperation Protocol that defined the overarching goals to promote defense cooperation among the CPLP members and defined a defense structure for the organization. The Community also demonstrated its capabilities through the political and diplomatic dialogue concerning the stability in its African country members. This commitment allowed the Community to play an important role in addressing crisis situations within its members and led to the international community recognizing these actions.Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/44092012-01-01T00:00:00ZO 14 de Infantariahttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/2139
Título: O 14 de Infantaria
Autor: Moura (coord.), Rui; Dias (colab.), Anselmo
Resumo: Os Regimentos são os mais antigos corpos militares de Portugal, organizados no início do século XVIII e descendentes dos Terços que tão brilhantemente garantiram a independência de Portugal na guerra que se manteve após a Restauração de 1640.
Este livro é um registo do passado e do presente do Regimento de Infantaria Nº14. Mas, dado que este Regimento se encontra sedeado na região da Beira Alta desde 1842, é igualmente um repositório das tradições da Infantaria das Beiras, uma homenagem a todos os Infantes de Viriato que defenderam, combateram e morreram por Portugal, ao longo de séculos, e como continuam, hoje, a levantar bem alto o nome da Beira, de Portugal e do seu Exército, nas sete partidas do Mundo.
O historial do Regimento de Infantaria Nº14 regista um longo percurso, partindo de Portugal para os destinos mais longínquos: Espanha, França, Angola, Moçambique, Guiné Bissau, Índia Portuguesa, Bósnia, Timor-Leste, Kosovo, Iraque, Afeganistão e Líbano.
Com o seu modo de actuação, adequado às diversas épocas e locais, este Regimento mostrou-se sempre digno de ser um exemplo a seguir na sua lealdade e combatividade. O registo de actos heróicos, que são perpetuados na presente obra, permite percorrer mais de dois séculos de história, homenageando a memória e as tradições de unidades que combateram com elevado destaque durante a Guerra Peninsular, nas Batalhas do Buçaco e de Albuera, entre tantas outras, e que se destacaram de forma notável na Batalha de Vitória; participaram nas campanhas coloniais do fim do século XIX e princípio do século XX; combateram contra a Alemanha em Angola, Moçambique e Flandres, em 1914-1918; prepararam milhares de combatentes e mobilizaram unidades para os teatros da Guiné, Moçambique e Angola, entre 1961 e 1974.
É a história de um Regimento “cuja fama ninguém virá que dome”.Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/21392009-01-01T00:00:00ZA Small Step for Capability, a Significant Leap for “Military Erasmus”.

Título: A Small Step for Capability, a Significant Leap for “Military Erasmus”. The European Security and Defence Policy Seminar, Lisbon 2009
Autor: Ferreira da Silva, Pedro; Paile, Sylvain
Resumo: The first European Security and Defence Policy Seminar was meant to have a strong impact on the education and strengthening of the European identity of young military Officers from European Union Member States, especially the ones who came from Military Academies. The initiative had its origin in the second half of 2008 under the French Presidency of the Union. The goal established was to achieve a “Military Erasmus”. In the first half of 2009, Portugal offered to host the pilot course, which received a laudable response from the majority of EU Member States and was supported by the High Representative for the ESDP.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/14932010-03-01T00:00:00ZSovereignty in European Context: how the European Union Reinforces National Sovereigntyhttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/1492
Título: Sovereignty in European Context: how the European Union Reinforces National Sovereignty
Autor: Ferreira da Silva, Pedro
Resumo: This paper aims to give a new perspective on the issue of sovereignty in the European context. In this context, we argue that the EU can contribute to increase Member States sovereignty. Many academic circles have advocated that the EU limits State’s sovereignty. This is why we intend to present a new approach to sovereignty in the European context.
In order to present our argument we will discuss and debate the concept of sovereignty, both in the internal and external dimensions, which are associated with the concept of power. Then we will check if European states have the necessary means that enables them to project their power. We’ll also argue that there are real limitations, in current capabilities, and in resources availability needed to develop them in the future. We’ll also present the concept of politics of scale, arguing that we can apply this concept to develop state’s capabilities, which allow the necessary power projection, which enhances state’s sovereignty.
This found that pooling and sharing will increase EU member states sovereignty, since it will allow a greater ability to project power, which is essential to support the external dimension of sovereignty. Thus, through a process of sharing and pooling member states will have the ability to defend their interests on a global scale, a level of intervention that will be denied if they choose to pursue individually. We also conclude that the current economic crisis may be used has a catalyst to deepen these mechanisms.Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://comum.rcaap.pt/handle/123456789/14922011-08-01T00:00:00Z
